Is sumin wrong or not...

[stupidhippo]

Hi! Im on week 10 of my test/deca cycle. For the last two weeks I started to see a real slowing down of my gains (in strength and size) and now I feel they are not coming at all anymore. I have also felt really tired for the last 2 days.. slept all day today, skipped training etc. First I thought that I was a lil sick but I dont feel sick. So my question is that is it normal to feel like this at this point of the cycle or am I doing sumin wrong or is there sumin wrong with my gear.. The thing is that 2-3 weeks ago I changed from human grade test E to BD test cyp and the same switch with deca... Tomorrow I'll know more sinice I will test where is my strength right now, but definetly am feeling that I am not not growing like I did.

your results will plateau. you're just gonna have to push through the down feeling and still train. its not good to switch like you did though

[stupidhippo]

I sure hope its only that but if this gets worse should I consider the possibilty of my other gear beaing crap and thus go straight to PCT.. For example: If next week still I get no strength gains compared to the previous weeks I should go to PCT
See im also goin other scenarios in my head:

1) Maybe Im training too much... (last week BJJ training added up so I have 7 workouts each week) 0
2)Maybe Im not getting nuff cals.. since Im a big guy I am watching out for extra fat so I could eat more..

[RUballs0514]

try eatin more and gettin your mind right. mentality has so much to do with it. i'd go ahead and finish the cycle before you do pct

i only do 5 days 7 seems like over training to me.

[stupidhippo]

yup but 3 of those are BJJ which is like wrestling training, but yeah I've noticed the plateau about simultaneously also with the continuation of BJJ training (took the summer off due to injury)

[RUballs0514]

the BJJ could be takin away from your gains. i'm not a big fan of wrestling training even though i love wrestling. those guys kill themselves to make weight

Are you eating enough to maintain the mass you have gained?

[stupidhippo]

not sure.. but I am eating alot.. I eat as much as in the beginning of the cycl.. I have gained about 20 pounds.. (now 280)

[stupidhippo]

- but havent gained any weight in like 3 weeks or sumin.

[RA]

I would still try upping the calories and see if that works and if your training 7 days a week, stop it.

[stupidhippo]

4 times a week i go to the gym and then 3 times a week BJJ. But I sometimes drop sumin (usually BJJ) so that I get atleast one complete rest day a week.. Ill try to train a lil less and up the calories and Ill see where I am going.
